Important Information

I’m gonna cover most of what I can and say some of the things other people aren’t.
NUMBER ONE RUSH TIP OMG: Girls, if your grades are not good, I am so sorry but you are more than likely going to be dropped. If you are below a 3.0 GPA coming in, you are labeled a grade risk and most chapters can only take 2 or 3 grade risk girls per pledge class, so the odds of you making it through recruitment or at least to a top house are not as good. I was devastated when I got dropped by so many houses after the first round, but now being on the other side, I know it was because of my grades.
#2 GIRL YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA
You have to be SOOO careful what you are posting ESPECIALLY if you have sorority girls following you!!! There should be NO ALCOHOL. Also, not just Instagram, sororities WILL be looking at not just your VSCO, but your TikTok as well, so if you have anything questionable, maybe just archive it until recruitment is over if it is something you want to keep. But seriously I don’t care if you have an in house sister in blah blah house, posting pics of you drinking even on your VSCO are going to put a bad taste in the sororities mouth, and sometimes your big sister can’t do anything about that.
#3 BE HONEST OMG
Obviously you should come into rush with an open mind, but unfortunately it isn’t always like that, so if you are one of those girls who does know for sure that they are getting a bid from a house like you know for sure in the bottom of your soul, TELL THE OTHER HOUSES THAT! There could be other girls wanting houses that might be keeping you otherwise and it would be unfair to take up another girl’s spot.
I feel like I’ve touched what I really didn’t know and what is not addressed as much, but comment below if you have any other questions and I will answer you honestly no BS.

Statistically, extremely unlikely. At Alabama, more than 90 percent of the PNMs that show up to convocation ultimately accept bids. The majority of those who do not finish the formal recruitment process make the decision to withdraw on their own. Some of those later accept COB bids.
Here is what you can do to maximize your recruitment experience:
1). Register for recruitment now and do opt in to the optional additional letter of recommendation.
2). Have a strong finish to your senior year and get your final transcript sent ASAP.
3). Make sure that you get quality recs for every sorority. Thank your recommenders promptly.
4). Clean up your social media and consider adding photos of your favorite sports, volunteer work, activities or hobbies.
5). Follow all 17 Alabama Panhellenic sororities on Instagram.
6). Read the Panhellenic Handbook.
7). Check out the websites for all 17 sororities. The first round of rush goes quickly, so learning something about the chapters in advance will help you remember which one was which.
8). Ask a sorority member you know at a college other than Alabama to practice some of the basic recruitment questions with you.
9). Plan out your recruitment outfits to find options that are appropriate for the heat and for long days with lots of walking.
10). Stock your dorm room with snacks you like because the first few days have very early mornings...you need healthy food on hand.
11). Pack a rush tote with items that will keep you cool, calm and comfortable, like cooling towels, ice water and an electronic fan with extra batteries.
12). Be yourself in every house...there will be a home for you at Alabama.

Those are all great advice^
